Results from the First Poll showed that only 1% of people felt they had neglectful parents but still had high self-esteem. Overall in the first poll this was only 18% of
people who said they had neglectful parents. 29% of people who reported loving parents also reported low self-esteem. Accounting for error this is pretty accurate to my
hypothesis.
Results from the second poll showed that 7% of people felt they had neglectful parents but still had high self-esteem. Overall in the second poll 44% of people with neglect-
ful parents reported high self-esteem. An error must have taken place because based on previous research this should not have happened. Neglectful parents cause low self-
esteem. Additionally, 15% of people with loving parents reported low self-esteem.
Overall results showed that loving parents have a positive impact on self-esteem in children. Additionally, that neglectful parents have a negative impact on children, however my
results did not show this trend as greatly as I wanted. I will assume it is due to the errors that could have occurred.
70% of people with neglectful parents reported low self-esteem.
